I should have said 10 Hiroshimas worth. you got me. for the people who still think that babies were beheaded and women were raped I will try to be more precise going forward.I do now actually understand why you guys are posting this absurd thing about me not being happy with the slow down on genocide and its not only another case of "every accusation is a confession", nor ano

Lol nice one. Ok so 10 hiroshimas worth. Do you have any actual evidence that 10 hiroshima’s worth of bombs is actually an unreasonable amount or that simply increasing the amount of tonnage makes it more deadly? I mean it comes out to roughly 150 kilotons. Is that a lot for a war? Were they deployed in such a way that made it evident that they were being used indiscriminately?

As for your attempt to reverse it? Nah. I’m happy the hostages are coming home and I am hopeful the war is over and that there is an actual path to a Palestinian state on the horizon. I’m fearful that Hamas and the Israeli far right would never let that happen.


Jewish Photojournalist TORTURED By The Israeli Government

ROFL because their corpses generally you kill someone after you rape them so they don't report you.

forensics can detect rape after death in many cases.

but I kind of agree with you not a huge amount of Israelis were raped because there was not alot of opportunity since October 7th.

I agree that rape seems unlikely while Apaches and tanks fire thousands of missiles at everyone for hours on end.

However 1200 people were killed by non professional soldiers who hated their victims.

no, Israel killed many if not most of the people with the Hannibal directive.

I am not sure what you mean by "non professional soldiers." if its to claim they dont make a living as soldiers, well Im not sure why that matters and fwiw neither do the Israeli genocide conscripts. if its to deride their warfighting ability well, they had the skills, discipline, and spirit to keep the Israeli Army out of Gaza city for 2 years despite a massive material disadvantage.

Do you really think none of them or the hostages were raped? really bro? What world do you live in how indoctrinated are you. Rape is in every war on both sides its just a crazy thing to believe your side is so good that their different. This is an even wilder double down

I try to deal in facts, not absurd fantasies based on racism. and so far none of the female hostages or POWs have even anonymously claimed rape. many have been attacked by right wing Zionist nutjobs for not saying it.

well, I take that back, one female hostage did come forward about being raped.

I don't need to make Israelis look like that. They do it themselves with their addiction to murder and cruelty.

Anyway, I don't think you are supposed to equate Jews as a whole with Israelis. In fact, even discussing diaspora Jewish feelings towards Israel has gotten me threatened with bans. I find it quite curious that the Israel supporters love equating all Jews with Israel.

I was suspended because I wished you death once before, so this time I will only wish you cancer.

Absolute anti-Semitism in everything you have written in the last few days. On a shocking level. I really hope you get cancer already

Trump seems completely suprised that Hamas only intends to follow the first point of the 20 point plan. And has already thrown the rest of it in the trashcan.

He apparently isn't very knowledgeable about how Arab societies work. Pretty much the first day you make a deal you can expect they will start breaking it.

This is a fundamental difference between generally honest liberal high trust societies, and highly corrupt third world zero sum tribal societies. The irony of course is that Trump himself is very corrupt and tribal, but he expects everyone else to act honorably so he can benefit.

Vic is basically Crossnerd's antisemitic fool (in the medieval court jester sense) that she parades around her "court" to show how morally superior and virtuous she is in tolerating his buffoonish hate and ignorance.

Kind of like when a woman takes their disabled dog to the park to roll it around in a stroller to show off how virtuous she is.

I think once you understand his role in this play, it is easy to just treat him as an irrelevant court fixture and ignore him. I engage him a little for my own entertainment, but my expectations are extremely low and I am pretty much never surprised.


so antisemitic to criticize this

I don’t believe it, sorry. They’ve lied too often to be believed on anything.

There is probably a lot of bad faith framing, but directionally this is probably true, and it is also not anything out of the ordinary. When you have bodies you dont plan on doing anything with anytime soon, you put them in freezers until you are ready to do something. This is what US hospitals did in 2020 during the height of Covid. In NY they used refrigerated storage containers to hold the bodies until they could be handled, because they quickly ran out of hospital space.

The idea that bodies were kept in freezers until they were dealt with (in this case returned during cessation of hostilities) is believable and standard procedure.

No the part I don’t believe is that all the dead bodies were cuffed around the ankles and wrists.

How are you here 24/7 and don’t realize what’s going on?

Oh that’s right, this is part of your childish act where you pretend to be slow in the head.

Ok. Fair enough.

Like I said, a lot of details are probably grossly embellished, but directionally we know there were a bunch of bodies left in freezers that are being returned.

At least they gave the bodies back as promised, unlike Hamas.

Your last few posts wishing death and now cancer on posters have made it easier for me to understand how shooting boys in the testicles for fun wouldn't bother you, so thanks for that.

You're a deeply disturbed individual.

I don't sense he is a deeply disturbed individual. I think he is passionate about a situation he is very close too unlike you guy's who spout your mouths about things you know nothing about. I get his frustration. This is about good vs evil. You guy's have chosen the wrong side.

Israel is holding at least hundreds of Palestinian bodies. and its not bc they are buried under tons of rubble from a genocidal bombing campaign.

No one cares what you think. You're just a moron whose "politics" are derived mainly from fear in general and xenophobia in particular, and who is stuck in front of a camgirl 24/7.


ya because they don't know what to do with them alot of paletine is in no condition to accept them kind of like all muslim country's are in no condition to take in the Palestinians and end this conflict. This is a weird take as well what does Israel want with dead body? im sure you have some anti semitic conspiracy as to what. dunyain hit that one out of the park already.

Isreal has stability and can accept their body . Palestine cannot its really that simple. I hear their hospitals are targeted quite often

Like if your Isreal whats the play here? Put them in a dump truck and drop them in Palestine? They would rot in the street they need to find someone to claim them


by MoViN.tArGeT

This is a weird take as well what does Israel want with dead body?

This is an old issue -- Israel refusing to turn over bodies to Palestinian families to punish and humiliate them. There are special graveyards for these bodies.

In September 2019, the Israeli Supreme Court issued a decision allowing the military commander to temporarily detain the bodies of Palestinians killed by the army and bury them in order to use them as “future bargaining chips”.

From 2017:
[URL="https://www.aljazeera.com/features/2017/8/10/why-does-israel-keep-the-bodies-of-palestinians"]Why does Israel keep the bodies of Palestinians?
A recent report has found that Israel is keeping hundreds of bodies in its infamous cemeteries of numbers.[/URL]

This ghoulish practice has been going on since 1967.

I should have said 10 Hiroshimas worth.

Paul Rogers, Emeritus Professor of 'Peace Studies' at Bradford University (not a very prestigious position) says 'six Hiroshimas', assuming a total of 70,000 tons of ordnance delivered by last May and assuming a blast yield of 12 kilotons for the Hiroshima bomb.

But it's a rather stupid calculation because, obviously, 12 kilotons in a single blast has a deadlier effect, rather than, as Rogers pretends, a less deadly effect. The numbers reported killed in Gaza over two years are lower than the immediate deaths caused by either of the only two atomic bombs used in action.


there in the middle of a negotiation to get their own bodies back too. like its a weird time to start bringing this up wait untill the dust settles they are mid cease fire negotations
